JK police in Ambala to probe haul of explosives meant for Delhi

JAMMU: The JK police today rushed a team to Ambala to coordinate with its Haryana counterpart in the probe into recovery of 5 kg explosives meant for a terror strike, plotted by Let and Babbar Khalsa, possibly in Delhi ahead of Diwali.

"We have sent a police team to Ambala to assist and coordinate with Haryana Police after DGP Haryana Rajiv Dalal sought assistance in coordination into investigation of the recovery of explosives," JK DGP Kuldeep Khoda said here.

A terror strike, plotted by Let and Babbar Khalsa, possibly in Delhi ahead of Diwali was foiled on Wednesday with police seizing over 5 kg explosives from a car outside Ambala Cant Railway station.

A joint team of Delhi and Haryana police found the explosives in a blue Indica car parked outside the railway station on an intelligence tip-off 10 days ago that a consignment carrying the substance was headed to a north Indian metro.
